Far From You

Chapter 11

This chapter is based on Veronica Roth's epilogue of Allegiant... It's focused on Tobias, not so much Bea/Beatrice/Tris.

*To Fandom High readers: I won't be updating that as frequently because my chapters in this story are pre-written. Which means I've already started writing the sequel.*

"Are you coming?" Lynn glances from behind me.

Christina nudges me, speaking quietly, "Tris would've wanted you to."

That breaks me. I must go. For my Tris Prior.

Bea excitedly races up the stairs. I hang back, along with Cara and Lauren. Shauna's going to be at the end zone, telling us when to pull the brake.

"First time, Cara?"

"Yeah."

"No worries. It's fun."

Easy for Lauren to say. I may not be scared of heights anymore, but the idea of zip lining for the second time in my life does.

First time it was torture.

I didn't do it for me, though.

I did it for Tris.

Like I am this time.

Zeke is waiting for us on the top, along with Bea, who's hopping from foot to foot excitedly, gazing at the zip line.

I stare at it like it's Jeanine and Marcus put into one person.

"Who first?" Zeke calls out.

"Bea," Peter says.

She grins and claps her hands excitedly.

I watch as she climbs into the sling head first.

She sticks out her hands, and soaring like a bird, she's off.

I bite my lips when Lauren volunteers for me to be next.

Like Tris and Bea did, I go down head first.

I zoom through the line, wind blowing in my face.

I take a deep breath and stare down, building-tops flying by me.

I'm not scared. I'm Four, not Five (that is my original quote. Take it, you are dead).

"PULL!" Shauna shrieks, Bea beside her.

I fumble for the red lever above me, and I see the wooden zip line end crashing towards me.

When my hands managed to find it, I yank as hard as I can.

A loud screech noise is all I hear, and wood is all I see.

I was four inches close to breaking my nose.

HAHAHAHAHAH... Four inches close to breaking his nose... Get it?
